Title:
  xdg-screensaver broken in kubuntu (KDE_SESSION_VERSION is 5, not 4
  anymore)

Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In line 420 /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver checks for the value of KDE_SESSION_VERSION.
  If it is 4, it uses the dbus methods, otherwise, thinking it is kde 3, it uses dcop.
  Unfortunately now KDE_SESSION_VERSION is 5 and xdg-screensaver falls back to dcop (which doesn't exists anymore):

  $ xdg-screensaver suspend 0x2600007
  /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: 652: /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: dcop: not found

  
  Changing it to check for 5 instead of 4 at least it appears to work (barring bug #310351)

  Note that the rest of xdg-utils also check KDE_SESSION_VERSION, so
  they will probably fail too, but I didn't try them.
